James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge Expansion Act of 2005

The James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge Expansion Act of 2005 authorized the expansion of the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The bill increased the refuge's size by approximately 750 acres, bringing the total protected area to roughly 1,100 acres of coastal wetlands and sand dunes.

For citizens, this expansion ensures the long-term protection of critical habitats for endangered species, including the Hawaiian monk seal, green sea turtles, and four species of native waterbirds. The act also preserves open space along the Kahuku coast from development and maintains public access for wildlife observation, photography, and environmental education. Originally introduced in 2005, the bill was signed into law in May 2006.
